Monitoring, preventing, and treating rejection of transplanted organs

An implantable system control unit (SCU) includes means for measuring tissue impedance or other condition to determine allograft health, in order to predict or detect allograft rejection. The SCU also includes at least two electrodes coupled to means for delivering electrical stimulation to a patient within whom the device is implanted, and may also include a reservoir for holding one or more drugs and a driver means for delivering the drug(s) to the patient. In certain embodiments, the system is capable of open- and closed-loop operation. In closed-loop operation, at least one SCU includes a sensor, and the sensed condition is used to adjust stimulation parameters. Alternatively, this sensory “SCU” sounds an alarm, communicates an alarm to an external device, and / or is responsive to queries regarding sensed information, such as tissue impedance.

Method for the early detection of breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and colon polyps, growths and cancers as well as other gastrointestinal disease conditions and the preoperative and postoperative monitoring of transplanted organs from the donor and in the recipient and their associated conditions related and unrelated to the organ transplantation

A method for the early diagnosis of breast, lung, pancreatic and colon growths and cancers as well as conditions associated with donor and recipient organ transplants, both before and after transplantation to identify and allow treatment of possible transplanted organ rejection and other disease conditions related and unrelated to the transplantation, compares the gene expression patterns from a patient's peripheral blood monocytes-lymphocyte's gene system with either the similar gene expression patterns of a normal person, or with the similar gene expression patterns of a person known to have the condition being screened for. Differences between the patient's gene expression patterns for particular genes and the normal patterns indicates the presence of the condition with the number of differences indicating the probability of the condition. Similarities between the patient's gene expression patterns for those particular genes and the patterns of a person known to have the condition indicates the presence of the condition with the number of similarities indicating the probability of the condition. For example, particular genes for use in identifying pancreatic cancer are disclosed.

Methods and devices for tissue monitoring

The present invention is directed to a system and method for monitoring the physiological parameters of an organ or tissue during and after surgery. The system has a probe and a monitoring unit. In one embodiment the probe includes features for convenient, fixed and releasable attachment to surgical drains without interfering with their normal fluid-draining function while utilizing their suction to enhance the probe-to-tissue interface for improved sensing. An applicator is provided to facilitate such attachment. The monitoring unit which controls the sensors of the probe includes a processor to process, record and display the sensor data. This system may be valuable for monitoring transplanted organs and tissue grafts during the critical postoperative period when most of the clinical complications, such as vascular thrombosis, may occur.

Methods of Using FOXP3 Levels to Predict the Outcome of Organs Undergoing Acute Rejection

A method for assessing risk of losing a transplanted organ by a patient having an episode of acute rejection of the transplanted organ is described. The method includes obtaining from the patient a cell sample from the transplanted organ or peripheral blood, determining a level of FOXP3 in the cell sample, and correlating the level with the risk of loss of the transplanted organ, wherein, compared to a control level, a significantly greater level of FOXP3 in the cell sample from the transplanted organ or a significantly lower level of FOXP3 in the cell sample from the peripheral blood correlates with a decreased risk of loss of the transplanted organ.
